The Church of England has a new Archbishop of Canterbury — and she's a woman
by editors@theworld.org (Matthew Bell) from The World: Latest Stories on (#735YX)
The spiritual head of the Church of England is the Archbishop of Canterbury, going back to St. Augustine in the year 597. All of the archbishops that followed were men, until today. The Most Reverend Sarah Mullally was formally confirmed at a ceremony held at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. She's now the highest ranking cleric for some 85 million Anglicans around the world. Hosts Carolyn Beeler and Marco Werman have the story.
